About The Event

Scottish   Gaelic is an endangered language with a long history in Alberta. Many local   place names - such as Glenmore (from gleann mòr, meaning 'big valley'),   Canmore (from ceann mòr, meaning 'big head'), Glendeer (from gleann doire,   meaning 'grove valley'), Airdrie (from Àird Rìgh, meaning King's Heights),   and even Calgary itself (from caladh gàraidh, meaning 'garden harbor') - come   originally from Gaelic, and they took root in Alberta because of the large   numbers of Gaelic-speakers who arrived here from Scotland in the late   nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Come learn   about the interesting history of Gaelic while learning a new song from Dr.   Adam Dahmer.
